You tried different stacking programs instead different acquisition software. I had the same issue as You when using APT v4.20 (hope they will resolve it soon). No problems when using this camera with N.I.N.A though.
My rig is similar to yours, eq5, 130pds and same guiding setup. I did some mods to my 130, flocking, mirror baffle and bringing the forces tube out of the way. It made a big difference in just the flocking alone, less need for my dew shield.
The joys of CMOS imaging, when I bought my 269C last year I found if I used the ASCOM drivers I would get a huge magenta cast on the images, I've no idea why this happened so after my 3rd attempt I used the native drivers & the camera performed much better. The Bayer matrix on mine is RGGB but my other halfs Atik CCD is an odd on as I've found out after staking her data on my copy of DSS. I can't explain why you're getting the purple splodges on your images that's a new one but after your hard work the images did turn out ok.
Hi and thanks for the video. What I've found with the svbony drivers is that maybe the wrong bayer pattern is reported. I've recently tested a sv605cc. After taking images with N.I.N.A, some fits files had RGGB in their headers and aome had GRBG. Really weird and definitely a driver (if not firmware) bug.
The drivers were very hit and miss. I am still working on a consistent method of getting this camera to perform every time. It seems overly difficult to calibrate, even for a 294c sensor (which are fussy at the best of times). The newest drivers do seem to perform better in NINA and I think they have turned down the noise suppression which made the images grainy and false looking. I will still use it I am sure that it can deliver good images if you can get a consistent workflow.
I had nothing but issues trying to use my sv305 and finally just gave up. I now use the player one Neptune C and haven’t had any problems. I had gone the same way, thinking my calibration frames were bad and redoing them. I also had odd artifacts with my sv305, when I did get it to work.

Thanks for watching. The 405CC seems to work well in NINA.

How lucky,, those appear to be Noctule Bats

@@AndyofAstro I will return the sv605cc because it shows some bending. Otherwise it would a make nice images.

OMG a spearmint green M 31 and M 110! Is that the SV405CC?
🤩
I would return the camera and buy myself a ZWO.
why？
